[Q] Unlocked & Sim Locked? I confused :( - HD7 General

Hi;
I have a basic question about HD7. I bought a sim unlocked HD7 from US Amazon. I ll use in Turkey with free apps like social tools. I d like to buy paid app from zune marketplace, I don't need paid app installation like jailbreaking in IOS.
If I attach my phone to Zune, sim unlocked remove or not?
If I update to Nodo, sim unlocked remove or not?
Sorry for rookie question
Thanks...

Aynen bende arıyorum dostum. Eğer bişey bulabilirsin yada bulduysan lütfen paylaş.

SIM unlock would not change regardless of update, but the os unlock can unless its patched.

[Q] SIM-unlock of Incredible S

Are there any free ways to get rid of SIM-lock for Incredible S?
If someone can help me, thanks a lot
Currently not, its the same as the rooting process, if we manage to get perm root, we can unlock the sim lock.
So your stuck now on the lock
Hmm, strange. My Incredible S is not SIM-Lock! I can put whatever I want in it
My IS is also sim-lock free, but if its locked, your out of luck until root is here.
i think jtag box can help u
Simlock will depend if you bought a branded or standalone device. While i haven't tried another card.. my device is an Orange IS and i suspect it won't let me use any other sim.
Best thing to do is test.
Mine's sim free version also, but my friends have bought one from service providers and cannot use other sims. Like they said above, you will need to wait for a new root for it, but if you already got a contract for it, then it's ok to hang around for a while right? Just divert your calls for your current sim for now.
u should use xtc clip to unlock your in s

There is no free software to unlock this model.
I thought once you debrand and you are S-off it is unlocked?

S-OFF does not always equal SIM/Carrier Unlock. It depends on the method used. The XTC Clip does S-OFF and SIM/Carrier unlock the phone. AlphaRevX does not.
i'm not aware of any software or 'free' sim unlock services
plenty of paid sim unlock services that work well :/
the only way to sim unlock my old IncS is to buy the code (15$) from any website or there is another method ?
thank you.
You could unlock it for free from optus after 6 months of purchasing it...
Click thanks if I helped you out!

[Q] HD7 - Basic Questions on flashing and unbranding

First, hi there.... i'm a newbie regarding flashing smartphones.... so please be kind
My phone info:
OS Version: 7.0.7008.0
Firmwareversion: 2250.09.11901.207
HW-Rev: 0002
Radio: 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U
Radio-HW: A.102.0.D4
Bootloaderversion: 1.19.2250.0(111297)
Chip-SOC-Version: 2.2.5.0
Provider: o2 Germany
(HD7 bought via o2myhandy)
PreNoDo-Update is installed.
And here are coming the questions :
1. Correct me if im wrong but it looks like my HD7 is branded from o2. (i have the o2 accent theme in my design settings and so on)
2. I want to unbrand my HD7, to get updates directly and not through o2. Is that possible?
3. If that is possible, which ROM should i use to flash? (Is it useful to debrand my phone with an preNodo ROM and update it then through zune?)
4. Can i use the offical HTC ROMs, or du i have to use other ones?
Thanks!
This is exactly what I've been wondering too. The o2 search provider (Yahoo) on my phone annoys me lots and I'm fed up waiting for the 7.0.7390 update to arrive. Shall I take matters into my own hands!
Hi
I followed the instructions on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988672
and have updated to NODO successfully
Please Note it seems to work with only HTC HD7 on O2 UK
I had an O2 UK and its seems to unbrand it to European version to get the nodo update
Do make sure you read the post properly again and again if you must , cause I made a few cockups a couple of times but got it right the third time
Thanks!
Whats the difference between the o2 UK and o2 DE ROMs aside the language?
I've also updated my phone and it worked flawlessly!
It's even now offering the NoDo update officially from MS, I presume because the phone is now unbranded.
Unbranding made a big difference to my phone, stripping the o2 logo off the bootup sequence and taking the crappy Yahoo search off IE.
Very happy with the improvement
Ok, i hope its not off-topic, but i there seems to be too many threads that got me confused ( some with deleted op )
I am getting a T-Mobile unlocked hd7, question is .. is there a way to unbrand and get NoDo ? If i do it will it get locked again ? ( i used unlock code to unlock it )
Please if it has been posted before, just guide me to the threads i should read.

Did you remove netlock? A unlocked phone will allow you to side load apps. T-Mobile wouldnt do that (its not legal).
I called mobile today to get my HD7 unlocked wil try this

Is it possible to SIM Unlock HTC J ONE?

Hi guys i have this phone from KDDI but now im in Mexico so i ask if some of you have this phone and unlocked it sucessfully to work with GSM carriers. There is no problem if it's a paid service. All i want is to have voice and data.
Thanks in advance

My phone can stay in KitKat if i use other SIM?

yeah it's a really noob question, i buy this phone in a TIM Brazil store, And The phone comes with TIM SIM Card, in the phone info, the system version show "timbr" in its final, i guess its a specific TIM version of the system, if i buy another SIM Card not from TIM And remove the TIM SIM Card, i will continue to receive system updates? sorry for this really noob question.. Again haha.
Sent from my XT1068 using XDA Free mobile app
Question 1: If the phone is sim-locked to TIM inserting a other SIM CARD, will most likely not work :/ Sorry.
Question 2 (Updates) : Yes you can receive updates BUT those updates (If the phone firmware is sim-locked to TIM) need to be sent out by TIM itself.
My Solution: Follow a guide for our XT1068 here on XDA and manually update it. Or ask your Carrier (TIM)

We don't really have problems about carrier locking here in Brazil.
So it doesn't matter if you bought your phone from TIM, as long as it is unlocked, you can use whatever SIM card you want to, and you will still get updates. You'll just have to deal with some crappy TIM apps until you root your phone and remove them.

surprisingly my phone didn't come with any TIM crappy apps, only some Motorola apps and that's it.. waiting Lollipop for XT1068! I not gonna root my phone because I think it's difficult and I am a noob in a non-samsung device.
